title: Batch suspension culture.
abstract: Batch culture involves the inoculation of a known volume or mass of cells into a volume of (normally) defined medium. Growth is allowed to proceed, and the resulting biomass is harvested at some stage during the growth cycle. Throughout the growth period, no additions are made to the media, with the exception of acid and alkali, if needed, for pH control. The scale of operation depends on the requirements.
